My pump broke

The little tip that you plug the tubing into on the motor part broke right off. It fell off the couch earlier and I guess that is when it happened. My dh rigged it up to be functional tonight, but there is no way it is going to hold up long term. I wonder if it can be repaired for any kind of decent price. At least I can use it tonight. Nursing is going better, but it still isn't great. I still pump at least 1/3 of the time and with me going back to work at 12 weeks, I am going to need to easily be able to move my pump around.

Re: My pump broke
Oh no! That sucks!
What kind of pump do you have? Can you call the company and order another part? I did this when the cord for my Avent pump broke.
It is a Medela PISA. I am hoping all the rumors of good customer service I hear are true. My dh can rig it up to work with a small piece of plastic tubing and since the milk doesn't go through the tubing, I am okay with that. But I really need it to be easy to transport to and from work when I go back.
Keep your fingers crossed that it is fixable. I am hoping that you can take the faceplate part of the pump off and replace that tip fairly easily.
I hope it comes fast! (woah, that sounded dirty)
How is little Kai doing? He is adorable!
Thanks. He had a much better day yday than he had been having darned growth spurt. He is a fairly good baby overall.
